" because their Ronin was built around a Buell 1125R, which ceased commercial production in 2009 when the company shut down. This of course means the likely hood of their ever being another Magpul Ronin is slim."

Not sure if any have actually been made and sold, but i believe Magpul purchased a warehouse full of 1125s for the purpose of a limited run.

They only converted a few, I saw 2.
They sold the unmodified ones a year or two ago, unsure if all sold or not.
Their shop is 10-15 miles from my house.

See the links at the top of the fork?
It's a GIRDER, like my 1940 30-50 Indian Scout had. A LOTTA moving mass.
It also moved the radiator to the forks to open the engine area.
To me the coolest part was the 1190 style tail.
The Free Spirits dual exhaust sounded like crap.

Even with the drawbacks, some cool innovation from a small-arms manufacturer of all places.
